Cast your eye about the area you are sitting in. Select an object and rearrange the letters to form a fantasy name, perhaps changing a few letters to get the name to your liking. Or, think of a friend’s name and do the same. Alternately, find a fantasy name generator and use that. PREMADE NPCs If you can’t be bothered with the process of creating an NPC, use one of the many premade NPC resources available on DMs Guild, for example Friends & Foes I by Andrew Cawood.
CHAPTER 14 Story Element Interaction Tables (Random Encounters) The tables included in this chapter are designed to provide an infinite number of random encounters. I wanted to get beyond just an assortment of d100 tables, towards a system that had infinite usability. Some may think the way I’ve arranged this system a tad random, and may want to use their own system, which is absolutely fine. What I’ve tried to do here is set up some factors that can interact to produce some interesting and out of the ordinary results. If you wish, you can always go and use one of the premade encounters in Chapters 4, 5 or 6. The tables here are likely to produce more dramatic results! They can also be used to answer questions, in place of the question/answer mechanic. If you cannot think of a yes/no question, simply roll on the Situations (Verbs) list below. There are 499 possible single word answers, all of which can be interpreted loosely to give you an answer to just about any question. There are many random encounter tables available on DMs Guild, so feel free to use such products in place of this chapter. ENVIRONMENTAL RELEVANCE Relevance is a factor here. Tailor your generated elements towards your current environment and context, whether it be wilderness, urban or dungeon. ELEMENT INTERACTION TABLE (Roll multiple times) d20 Element 1-6 Events (Event table - below) 7-8 Creatures (Creature table - below) 9-12 People (NPC table - Chapter 14) 13-20 Situations (Verb List) Roll initially 4 times to try and generate the seeds of your encounter. If this doesn’t provide anything useful, keep the words you have and continue to roll until something presents itself, as many times as you need to, in order to generate something interesting. For example, rolls of 1, 5, 5, 17 results in two rolls on PEOPLE and one roll each on EVENTS and SITUATIONS. Roll on those tables to see what you get, then use the question/answer mechanic to provide further details. As you can see, the scope here is endless. An example roll: 7, 13, 18, 20. NPCs (Chapter 13): Human Wizard Situations (verbs): Enjoy, pry, explode. By linking the above seeds, I came up with an encounter where a wizard, carrying a satchel of potions down the road, has the bag ripped open by some mischievous kids. Potions spill out the road and explode, much to the children’s delight, and all manner of magical chaos ensues! 104

Wolf SITUATIONS TABLE (VERB LIST) What follows is a list of 499 verbs that are meant to suggest situations that could come about between other elements such as people, creatures etc. Interpret loosely, there is no need to stick to these words literally sense. Remember that they are verbs, so they suggest action. You could also frame a question, and then roll to get a word that might suggest an answer. The list is so broad that it can also be used to give an answer to nearly any question. Roll as many times as you need to, in order to generate something interesting that your PC can interact with. HOW TO ROLL ON THE SITUATIONS TABLE. STEP 1: Roll a d10 to determine your hundreds. d10 Hundreds Range 1-2 0-99 3-4 100-199 5-6 200-299 7-8 300-399 9-10 400-499 STEP 2: Roll d100 to get the 10s and 1s.

Chapter 15: What Do The Monsters Do? (Monster Tactics) One problem we frequently run into while solo adventuring is sameness of combat. Because we don’t have a DM controlling monster movements, combat can tend to devolve into a “stand adjacent and bash each other” style. This is something I’m constantly trying to address. Below you’ll find a table that attempts to get the monsters moving around a little. These tables are somewhat experimental and will be inappropriate in some encounters. Use these tables if you wish, or completely ignore them and decide the circumstances of combat yourself. Like everything else in this book, this is a tool which you can use or not use, depending on your playing style. Also, take into account that just because you come across a monster, that does not necessarily mean that combat will take place. What are the monster’s intentions? Perhaps it just doesn’t feel like fighting right now! Or perhaps its intention is to catch you and keep you alive for some other purpose. So, a monster always has a reason to attack (or not attack), whether it be instinct, defending their territory, or cowardice. You may have elements of your story that have already determined the monster’s intention, or you may not wish to use the below table at all. But rolling on this table can provide a random monster encounter with the element of motivation, which can add to your story. MONSTER FEATS If monsters have a feat which is characteristic of their attack style, then they will generally use it whenever they get a chance. For example, take the Aurochs, a CR 2 oxen-like creature from Volo’s Guide to Monsters. It has a feat called Charge which enables it to cause extra damage, and knock opponents prone if it moves 20 ft towards the target and hits with a ram attack. So, take it as read that the Charge feat constitutes the Aurochs’ main attack, and it will use it whenever it can, even if it causes an attack of opportunity. DISTANCE OF MONSTER FROM PC or PCs Ways to determine: • Roll 1d8. Monster is that many squares away. Or roll 1d10. • d10 x 10 + 20 ft. • Roll stealth for the creature. If successful, place them 1d4 squares away. If stealth check is higher than PC’s passive perception, they can make a surprise attack. • Any other method you care to think of. MONSTER INTENTIONS / TACTICS TABLE Add 15 to the roll for BBEGs / Boss Monsters d100 GENERAL TACTICS 1-4 Monster flees, scared witless at the sight of you! 5-9 Monster is curious and will stay some distance away, checking you out before approaching; if a beast, may be open to befriending. Make charisma check with advantage. If successful, you could take as companion. 10- 14 Monster will stalk you, always staying well out of range, perhaps waiting for you to become wounded or disadvantaged in some way. 112
15- 19 Monster will stay at distance and make ranged attacks, picking away at you. If you try to come near, it will flee. 20- 24 Monster may want you caught and kept alive rather than killed. It will fight you to the point of unconsciousness, and then will take you away and attempt to keep you alive for some purpose. 25- 30 Monster is highly alert and on guard. Any stealth checks to approach it are made at disadvantage 31- 70 Monster simply attacks, purely out of instinct. 71- 80 Monster views this area as its territory and you as a challenger. It attacks immediately, trying to drive you backward. It might make strength checks to push you back. 81- 90 Monster has offspring (or something it wants to protect) nearby, and sees you as a threat. It attacks immediately, possibly guarding a certain area. 91- 100 Monster barrels straight into combat, seeing your presence here as a personal affront. It is incited to extreme rage. MONSTER REACTION TABLE (Round by round) At the start of each combat round (or perhaps every second round) roll for the monster’s reaction. If there are multiple monsters, you might roll for the first one, and then the others (if intelligent enough) will base their attacks on the success or failure of their ally. You may also wish to roll separately for each monster. Optional: If the reaction directly contradicts the overriding tactics, or the situation in general, you may choose to ignore it. Or, perhaps the tide of battle has turned and thus the reaction now makes sense. Add 10 to the roll for BBEGs / Boss Monsters. d100 REACTION d100 01- 04 If monster has dropped to less than 50% hp, it flees (provoking an opportunity attack if necessary), taking double movement. 33- 72 Creature uses its main attack 05- 08 If you scored 25% or more of the creature’s hp in damage during the last round, creature makes a wis check (DC=PC's wisdom+intimidation modifier). If it fails, it moves away from you quickly (taking dash), and provoking an opportunity attack if necessary. If it succeeds, it attacks normally. 73- 76 Roll on Random Combat Event Table (eg rom my product Slips, Trips and Flying Turnips, or any random event table). 09- 12 If you scored 50% or more of the creature’s hp in damage during the last round, creature makes a wisdom check 77- 80 Enemy takes your presence here as a personal affront, and attempts to intimidate you. It makes an
(DC=PC's wisdom+intimidation mod). If it fails, the creature disengages and then moves away from the PC up to its movement allowance. Otherwise, it attacks normally. intimidation check against your wisdom (as DC). If it succeeds, make your next attack at disadvantage. If it fails, it goes straight into melee brawl. 13- 16 Creature makes an attack, then moves away, provoking an opportunity attack if necessary. 81- 84 Monster inspiration: If the monster has a feat that needs to recharge, it recharges automatically without needing to make a roll. 17- 20 If there is more than one enemy attacking the PC, they all attack and then move away in different directions. PC can only choose one on which to make an opportunity attack. 85- 88 If your last attack missed, the creature feels a swelling of courage. It makes a wisdom check (DC=PC Charisma). If it succeeds, it attacks with advantage. If unsuccessful, it attacks as normal. 21- 24 If there is more than one enemy attacking the PC, one stays in melee and attacks, while another stays at ranged or disengages and moves away to make ranged attacks (if it has ranged attacks), possibly risking an attack of opportunity if enemy has hp to spare. Otherwise, it stays in melee. If there is only one creature, it attacks as normal. 87- 92 If the creature won initiative, then it was aware of your presence (even though it may not have appeared to be) and has a surprise attack readied. 25- 28 If there is more than one enemy attacking the PC, they move to flank the PC on opposite sides. 93- 96 Creature makes an intelligence or perception check (whichever is highest) with the DC being the PC’s main combat ability (strength or dex). If successful (and if appropriate for the monster), it discerns information about the PC’s combat skill. If it is obviously outclassed, it will take the dash action to get as far from the PC as possible (provoking an opportunity attack if necessary). If it is equally matched or clearly superior to the PC, the PC makes their next attack at disadvantage. 29- 32 If combat has not yet started, the monster is busy with something else and does not initially see the PC as a threat. If the PC does not attack, they can probably pass without any incident. 97- 100 Monster roars for help / reinforcements, in its own tongue. Make a d100 roll. On a roll of 10 or below, another one of its type appears in two rounds. (This only happens once) 114
Chapter 16: Monster Encounters for the Solo PC A NOTE ON THE TABLES These tables are split into two parts: Encounter and Monster. First, roll on the Encounter Tables (organized by level and difficulty) to find out how many of what CR monsters you are facing. Then, progress to the Monster Tables (organized by terrain and CR) to find out exactly what beasties you have to battle! Note: Not all terrain types have every CR provided, especially the more unusual ones such as “Coastal” and “Aquatic.” In such a case, just go with an encounter for which monsters exist in that environment. Also, these tables only go up to level 15, and CRs up to 7. Balanced encounters for solo PCs are lower CR-wise as a monster’s CR is based on the assumption that it is facing a minimum of four PCs! A small supplement will be released in future covering the remaining levels. The overarching tool is organized so that it is easy to add more monsters and increase the variety of monsters you might encounter. Simply find the monster’s CR, appropriate environment, and then add it to the right table. Not all of the encounters are exactly to the thresholds given on p.82 of the DMG. One or two of them might be slightly above or below the XP listed there. Keep in mind that they scale upwards within the tables also. For example, “Level 4 Easy” has an XP threshold of 125, but the top roll on that table (5-6 on a d6) has a threshold of 150; a little more difficult. For the sake of keeping this book at a manageable size, stat blocks are not included, but references to find them are. Also, when encountering the creature, think about how to determine whether your PC knows everything about this monster. If not, then they will not know about resistances, feats, etc, and combat will reflect that. This is another of those situations where the player potentially knows more than the PC. ADJUSTED FOR THE SOLO PC All tables listed here have been adjusted for 1 PC, so there is no need for you to perform any complicated equations or anything like that. If playing with 2 PCs, refer to the 2 PC conversion chart below. The tables are subtly scaled upwards according to difficulty, so the higher you roll, the harder the encounter will be, even on the “easy” tables. A high roll will result in the upper end of “easy.” If your PC is finding encounters too hard, or too easy (perhaps due to gaining a magical item), then you might choose to move up or down a difficulty tier to make the encounters more appropriate. So, if you’re told to encounter a medium monster, you might choose to make that a hard encounter instead. Xanathar’s Guide to Everything also has an excellent table entitled “Quick Matchups” on p.91 that offers some challenging encounters for single PCs of each level. Purchasing the core books is a good idea as all of them contain valuable resources for solo players, as well as upping your general player and DM skills. MULTIPLE MONSTERS AND THEIR STORIES Here we have another interesting source of story generation. If the tables determine you meet 2 hobgoblins and 4 monodrones in your dungeon, then the question/answer mechanic can be employed (probably after you have defeated them) to determine how this unlikely combination came about. Perhaps the hobgoblins have found some way of controlling the drones, and are using them to attain their goals. As always, the Q/A rolls can sub in for just about any element in this book. But allow these strange combinations to be sources of plot hooks and story enrichment.
However, if the combination of monsters is completely implausible, you have my permission to roll again! Another idea: you may choose to randomly roll the first monster, and then pick what would be a logical partner for it, rather than make another random roll. Also, the variety of monsters across the entire dungeon - how did that assortment come to be there? This will further inform your story. Names of monsters and the monster descriptions given in the core material provide story elements also. If you are in a desert and happen to encounter a Guard Drake, the natural question is, what is it guarding? Consider these encounters as potential story triggers, as well as a chance for your PC to bash some skulls! Read the monster description and what motivates the creature, what its habits are. This will suggest other features and creatures that might be nearby. Perhaps if you find Rothe dwelling deep within some dungeon, then some other humanoid - drow or duergar or svirfneblin - is there to farm it. Monsters don’t just wait around for adventurers like you to come blundering into dungeons. They have their own agendas and stories. GENERATING A BBEG (Big Bad Evil Guy or Boss Monster) Sometimes you need to generate a boss monster. Follow these guidelines. STEP 1: Roll on the table below. BOSS DIFFICULTY TABLE d6 Difficulty 1-2 Medium Encounter 3-5 Hard Encounter 6 Deadly Encounter STEP 2: Now go and find the levelappropriate medium, hard or deadly encounter table in the tables below. Choose the option you think is most appropriate, rather than rolling. Or, use the CR to guide your creation of an NPC for your adventurers to face off against. It might be another case of you (as pseudo-DM) knowing more than your PCs. There are a number of great NPC /villain resources on DM’s Guild, as well as officially released stuff like Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes which can guide the creation of your villain NPCs. Chapter 4 of the DMG also contains guidelines for the creation of NPC villains. DO THEY ATTACK? Aside from you attacking them, do the monsters you encounter always attack you? Perhaps not. Use Q/A rolls, and monster descriptions, to determine whether they flee, approach curiously, or attack you. You could also use the mechanics in Chapter 15: What Do The Monsters Do? Don’t presume that every encounter will end up in battle. And also, remember if the odds are against you, fleeing is always an option! Visit Chapter 15 for more information on the monster’s overall motivation, and round-toround behaviour. FLEEING If things turn bad, and the idea of your PCs dying is absolutely abhorrent to you (keep in mind, it does happen!) then you might want to let them flee. An athletics check or some sort of ingenious escape or diversion might be in order, but keep in mind that creature will still be in that place should you decide to journey back this way! Or, it may decide to pursue. ANOTHER METHOD Of course, if you like your solo play a little more unpredictable, you can always simply use the question/answer mechanic to generate your encounters. Just be careful what questions you ask. 116
